## Resource

I mean, we KNEW it was going to be expensive, but woooowww... I don't think we were prepared for this. Do we blame Valve? No, according to GamersNexux (Yeah, we'll talk about that interview). Bookend that with GTA6's price tag and, hoo-boy, are we going to have an expensive year. Join our Discord and chat with us all the time: Help support us on Patreon! A buck a month is all we ask to help keep us going into year 15: Come watch us live every Sunday at noon Pacific / 3pm Eastern. You'll hear the pre- and post-show hijinks
